We know that, Total probability = 1

Given probability of black stones = 1/4

=> Probability of blue and white stones = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

But, given blue + white stones =  9 + 6 = 15

Hence,

3/4 ----- 15

 1   -----  ?

=> 15 x 4/3 = 20.

Hence, total number of stones in the box = 20.

Here I is female

J, K, L & D , B are males

Then from the above conditions,

All of the given statements are true.

Let the price of 1 litre of diesel be Rs.x and let Karthik initially buy 'y' litres of diesel.
Therefore, he would have spent Rs. xy on diesel.

When the price of diesel increases by 25%, the new price per litre of diesel is 1.25x.

Karthik intends to increase the amount he spends on diesel by 15%.
i.e., he is willing to spend xy + 15% of xy = 1.15xy

Let the new quantity of diesel that he can get be 'q'.
Then, 1.25x x q = 1.15xy
Or q = (1.15/1.25)y = 0.92y.

As the new quantity that he can buy is 0.92y, he gets 0.08y lesser than what he used to get earlier.

Or a reduction of 8%.

Let the principle amount be Rs. P

Interest rate = 12%

Total amount he paid after 5 years = Rs. 1280

ATQ, 

$$\begin{gathered} P + I = PTR100 + P \\ 1280 = PTR100 + 1 \\ 1280 = P5 x 12100 + 1 \\ 16P10 = 1280 \\ P = 80 x 10 = 800 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the amount he borrowed = P = Rs. 800.

Facilitate means assist someone in their progress or work. Here Help is the only word which is similar in meaning with facilitate. Halt and check are antonyms i.e opposite in meaning of facilitate. 

Hence, facilitate is similar in meaning to help.

1 2 3 4 5 6(Shankar) 7(Nitu) 8(Althaf) 9 10 11 12 13 14
Here, Althaf is 8th from front, Shankar is 9th from rear end and Nitu is between them
So minimum no. of boys standing in the queue = 14
